Timer refresh rate defines how often the PG4UWMC program will request status information
from running Programmer Sites. Status information means current device operation type,
progress, result and so on. Current status information is displayed in main window of
PG4UWMC. The default timer refresh rate value is 200ms. If you wish faster refresh of status
information displayed in Operation panel of PG4UWMC, select shorter refresh interval. If you
notice the system performance slow down, when using faster refresh, select higher refresh
value to make refresh less often. On the Pentium 4 computers there is almost no performance
penalty depending on timer refresh rate but on slower computers it is sometimes useful to
select longer (less often) timer interval.
PG4UWMC "Search for Programmers"
Search on local computer
This mode of programmers searching is active after installation of PG4UWMC by default. If
you prefer to operate with programmers connected to different computers via network, try
Network mode.
Red colored programmers (Figure 2) indicate that there are some sites which are expected to
be present, but cannot be found. These sites are listed in "Not found" column. Otherwise the
column is hidden.
Search in defined Programmers group on network.
PG4UWMC, when switched to Network mode, allows to search, start, control and monitor
instances of PG4UW on network computers. Communication between PG4UWMC and
PG4UW is realized through PG4UWMC Network Agent, which is running on each computer.
All PG4UWs, PG4UWMC Network Agents on network and controlling PG4UWMC must be of
same (thus compatible) version. This feature is available only for automated programmers and
is intended to be used mainly with handler machines.
